Mark Robins' side Claim Sixth Straight Triumph Over Watford

League leaders extended their impressive unbeaten run with a commanding 3-1 performance against reduced the visiting side.

Rapid Strikes Establish the Pace

The Coventry manager's team started to a flying start with Brandon Thomas-Asante and the midfielder scoring the goal within the initial minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto added a 3-0 lead just before the interval, while a Watford defender was dismissed before the half.

Imran Louza scored a penalty for the away squad, but it proved nothing more than a consolation goal.

Coventry's goalkeeper Carl Rushworth had before blocked a golden opportunity for Rocco Vata, which could have changed the match early on.

The Coventry boss commented: “This was a tough game today because Watford are a quality outfit.”

The substitute was introduced from the bench to score the lone strike in a 1-0 victory over the visitors.

They dominated the play but only found the goalless draw near the end thanks to his 5th goal of the season.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had equalized in injury time, but the goal was disallowed for a infringement in the area.

A Portsmouth defender turned a second-half own goal to hand the visitors a one-zero victory.

John Mousinho's men have at present managed just a single game since the close of last month.

The Stoke manager said: “This was one of the vital victories we’ve had this campaign.”
